<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 5133492, member: 80952&quot;]In my (small) collection, mostly out of curiosity, I have checked all the coins to see the rarity index in RIC. This was part of the great fun I find in identifying coins.</p><p>I found some of them with nice degrees, however I don&#039;t care too much about this.</p><p>The coins I like have nice designs (for me) or from certain emperors...</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a lot of coins rated C but I like them more than some rated R2.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I&#039;m sure everybody knows that RIC rarity index is not 100% relevant as many things have changed since the volumes were written and the ancient coins domain is way to vast.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example this coin is listed as Scarce in RIC so not very &quot;special&quot;</p><p><a href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.tr.693" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.tr.693" rel="nofollow">http://numismatics.org/ocre/id/ric.2.tr.693</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BUT... Woytek 601 reports just three specimens, all from the same pair of dies, in Glasgow, Paris and CNG 38, 1996 auction (I managed to find that)</p><p>Mine is the fourth, however, just an S coin in theory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
